Active Seniors Education without Barriers

Description

The ASEB project is grounded on the following pillars: social inclusion, studies without barriers, using smart technologies, active and creative approaches to senior education, spreading cultural heritage. The project will engage 4 organisations; we state here only their abbreviations, full names of the organisations are given in section Participating Organisations: OU, AMBESP, RUTIS, KU. With respect to project objectives, the following important activities will be carried out:Objective 1. To follow the methodology created within the project Inclusive Senior Education through Virtual U3V (ISEV) based on 4 pillars: using SMART technologies, removing information barriers, seniors’ active approach to education, inter-generation dialogue. The project output will be two eLearning courses-O2, O4. The courses will be created in a way to meet 3 pillars of the methodology, i.e. SMART technologies, removing information barriers, and seniors’ active approach to education. At this stage, we do not anticipate engagement of students and the youth into the project. However, the inter-generation dialogue could also be implemented throughout project implementation.Objective 2. To broaden the methodology with international cooperation when designing and implementing educational activities for seniors focused on cultural heritage in the area of music using SMART t. This Objective is met, in fact, by all project activities. A joint methodology will be created in the area of senior choir leadership-O1, including an international songbook-O3, which will reflect specific approaches and procedures noticed in individual partner countries. The cooperation will be not only in the area of creating the methodology, but in its implementation as well, i.e. choir leadership, rehearsing joint repertoire according to O3 intensified during blended mobility-C1, joint multiplication activity-E1.Objective 3. To implement the methodology and specific procedures in senior education that have been verified in the participating organisations, where such education can be enriched and broadened. There is a direct link to O1–creation of a methodology and its pilot verification, C1 collaborative learning, and E1 multiplication activity.Objective 4. To focus on creative topics in and approaches to senior education. Seniors’ creativity will be primarily supported in O1, but we also plan to create an eLearning course Cultural Heritage-O2, which will emphasise seniors’ creativity and their active approach to education. The course will contain a number of activities for seniors, i.e. they will not just passively read or study prepared materials and sources, but they will also create materials and be motivated to record, describe, and evaluate selected historical and cultural events. They will post there their observations, experience, memories, and findings directly into the course in the eLearning platform. They will actively participate in the course content, not only during the project implementation, or piloting, but after the project termination as well. Objective 5. To strengthen international dialogue and to use untraditional forms of communication. This Objective will take advantage of two ways of communication: non-verbal – by music and virtual – by the eLearning platform. Such a seemingly heterogeneous blend could help initialise a dialogue between the seniors at an international level. We expect such a way of communication to become a significant factor in social inclusion of seniors. Meeting this Objective is a cross-sectional in all activities, primarily in activities O2, O4, and C1.Objective 6. To carry out collaborative learning, both in the form of eLearning courses and direct learning during blended mobility joint meetings of seniors. Collaborative learning will take place in all activities. O1–rehearsing the choir repertoire at national levels while using the created methodology and songbook. O2–joint educational platform for sharing materials, communication and active approach of the seniors. O3–The songbook will serve to rehearse a joint repertoire during the O2 piloting, C1 blended mobility, and E1 multiplication activity. O4–the eLearning course will primarily include seniors’ contributions. There will be a record of learning and rehearsing the choir repertoire, records of performances, records of collaborative learning during blended mobility, introduction of practical implementation of the methodology, etc. the course will also serve for communication between experts as well as seniors. There will also be open space for presenting senior-choir work after the project termination.The project emphasises continuous evaluation and dissemination as well as permanent sustainability. During the project investigation, we will trustworthily inform interested public about project outputs and the possibilities of their further dissemination and use. We will strictly observe that the project outputs are available after project terminate.
